Capabilites for user tours

by Bjørn Teistung - Friday, October 23, 2020, 5:12 PM

Hi.

I would like to give category managers permission to create, edit and remove user tours. I have given them the permisson by editing the role categorymanager, but my category managers do not get any path to the user tours.

permissions

In Moodle docs, https://docs.moodle.org/39/en/Capabilities/tool/usertours:managetours, it says:

This capability is allowed for the default role of manager

Does this mean only the site admin manager is aloud to make and administrate the user tours?

Cheers,

Bjørn

Hi Bjørn, I would have thought this would work alone, without fancy footwork, but thinking about it a bit more, where is the actual tour? At the Category or the Site Level? If it is at the Site level, then they won't have access to it, it's outside the Category. Once outside the Category, the categorymanagers don't have permission to access that level of the Site. Can you shift the tour to the Category?

Hi, Colin.

Thanks for your reply. As site admin, I can filter the user tours to categories, courses and roles.
I want that the category managers have access to create and edit the user tours in the courses in their own categories.
My path to the user tours is admin/tool/usertours/configure.php

A category manager has no access to that url. My question is then: After I have given category manager capability to make user tours: How does the category manager find the tool, as he has no access to admin area?
